In the season 37 premiere, Clayton fans, 51, became emotional as she and McKinney, 61, were tasked with climbing up a huge series of steps in the Tian Tan Tan Buddha in Hong Kong. Clayton explained on the show that she had suffered a daunting fall from a series of steps that required her to undergo surgery Phobia was triggered.
“I think about it every time I see stairs,” just said Clayton Weekly US On Thursday, March, following their deletion from the competition series. “Like last week in a ball -basket game, I had to catch a popcorn and there wasn’t a second. And I was like, ‘Oh, let me do it.’ I just wanted to call my sister and say, ‘Lauren, I took the stairs without respect.’ “
Clayton couldn’t help but feel “so proud” of herself for facing the fear and she was even more grateful that the series included it in the chapter.
“I don’t know if everyone watching would know this is big for me. Here’s my jump out of a plane or try to make a trapeze, ”he said. “As, for me it was a big deal. So I’m ultimately proud of myself. “
While watching the show back, Clayton looked at a shot from the air from the long stairs and was still surprised to climb up and down. Although fear of stairs may not be an ideal feature for Amazing race The competitor, Clayton, explained that she had trained and practiced for her since steps came up before.
“The first thing we had to do was run downstairs,” he said. “’And I was like,’ well. We had the stairs over with out of the way. ‘”
McKinney, for her part, was flowing about how pleased she was of her sister for not abandoning the challenge.
“I never felt she was disappointed at all. All I could think of was, ‘Wow, there’s someone out there who watches this because it’s afraid. There’s something they don’t talk about with someone because they feel they’ll be ridiculed or judged or whatever because it’s so small, ‘said McKinney Us. “It may help us all just stop. Everyone goes through something alone, sometimes their own quiet journey. And you can stretch a hand and help someone and let them actually the opposite. “
In addition to Clayton taking the stairs, McKinney had a second himself when he stepped up to complete the first barrier of the season. McKinney was tasked with climbing up the bamboo tower of the Cheung Bun Festival chau – which he did without issue. However, tackling the challenges on the Heights themed on McKinney Radar.
“We watched every season of The amazing race. Leading to this, we decided in advance who’s going to do this, who’s going to eat that if he comes up, who’s gonna, and she was going to do all the height things, ”he explained. “Put me in the mud. I will climb through mud, I will push an ox, I don’t care, swim, whatever it was going to do all the heights that things jump out of an aircraft crew, anyway. So I wasn’t going to do that. “
After Clayton’s emotional moment with the stairs, McKinney knew the pair had significant delays and were already in the last place. So he decided to give his sister a break and master the tower himself.
“She had just overcome those stairs. I had to conquer this tower, ”McKinney told Us. “So I just knew something in me you don’t like it, I didn’t even feel scared. He went away. I went straight in, ‘I have to do this.’ “
Once McKinney achieved the sport, she felt “joy” and “pride.”
“That feeling was from when you overcame something you didn’t think you could. I knew my sister was waiting for me at the bottom, ”he reflected. “I couldn’t see her, but I knew she was there to hear me all the way. So it was absolutely amazing and quite a moment. “
